I just randomly checked the location today, and it happened to be very, very close to where I live. I saved a copy of the map to my phone (Google maps doesn't work on it), cycled over, and found the spot in a back alleyway. Robbat2 seems to have marked the spot, thanks for that, and there was an elderly couple nearby who mentioned that two others had been by. I took some pictures and come back home. I should probably mention that this is my first.

Expedition

GeRCunderscore4

I just randomly checked the location today, and it happened to be very, very close to where I live. I saved a copy of the map to my phone (Google maps doesn't work on it), cycled over, and found the spot in a back alleyway. Robbat2 seems to have marked the spot, thanks for that, and there was an elderly couple nearby who mentioned that two others had been by. I took some pictures and come back home. I should probably mention that this is my first.

Wijnland 16:30, 11 July 2012 (PDT) : just back from a quick tour, did not have a camera or gps though... did see the marks of Robbat2! and just missed GeRC_4. Got a free :-) ! birthday slurpee at 7/11 afterwards at 10th/Alma (distance ~500m). I am considering go for a second go tonight with gps and camera and for a second geoSquishi, anyone still up for a meet? drop me a time.. Just noticed that the free slurpees are only until 19.00 so there is little time.
